Blake in a Post-Secular Era

More about the book

Focusing on William Blake's prophetic works from 1788 to 1794, Karl Kroeber's analysis emphasizes Blake's relevance in today's post-secular era. Kroeber argues for a renewed appreciation of Blake's radical Christianity, which has been overlooked in secular literary studies. He highlights Blake's belief in the uniqueness of each individual and the importance of imaginative social structures, contrasting them with the rational ideals of his time. The book includes 28 illustrations, enhancing the exploration of Blake's profound impact on culture and individuality.
